I just bought a camper/trailer/park model/mobile home…what do I need to do?

1. Provide a copy of the Bill of Sale to the Assessor’s Office. Copies can be sent via email to assessor@wellstown.org or by postal mail to Assessor, 208 Sanford Rd, Wells, ME 04090. The Bill of Sale should include the seller’s name, buyer’s name, location and description of the unit, date of sale, sale price, and mailing address where the buyer will receive the tax bill. 

2. Apply for a State of Maine title (for units 1995 model year or newer). Applications for a title can be obtained at the town’s Finance & Tax Collection office, at Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicle branch offices, or by contacting the Title Unit in Augusta at (207) 624-9000 x52138. 

3. If you purchased a camper or trailer (including park models) and the seller did not collect sales tax, file an Individual Use Tax Return (IUSE) with the State of Maine. Forms are available online from the Maine Revenue Services website or at the Assessor’s Office. If you purchased a used manufactured home (mobile home), your purchase is tax exempt and you do not need to file an IUSE form.
